About Us

Welcome to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival! We’ve been bringing world-class comedy to Glasgow for over a decade, and in 2018 we’re back for our 16th brilliant year.

Top comedy stars from around the UK and beyond will be coming just to entertain you, only to realise the Scottish money they’ve been paid in can only be spent in this country and that they can never go home again... They’ll be complemented by the very best of home-grown Scottish talent for a comedy extravaganza that makes us Europe’s largest comedy festival.

An example of classic Glasgow humour – in real life the Duke of Wellington didn’t have a cone on his head, and this disparity is amusing.

The festival is put together by our dedicated GICF team: Festival Director Sarah (@gicfsarah), Sponsorship Officer James and Production Coordinator Jay (@gicfjay).
